The Orange landed Brewster Academy shooting guard Ron Patterson on Saturday afternoon, the Syracuse Post-Standard reported, an addition that could directly impact two prospects — Philadelphia combo guard Rysheed Jordan of Vaux High School and local standout Isaiah Whitehead of Lincoln — the two rivals have been recruiting.

Syracuse is now set in the backcourt for next year, with the 6-foot-3 Patterson, a former Indiana verbal, and elite point guard Tyler Ennis of St. Benedict’s Prep (N.J.). They join B.J. Johnson, a 6-foot-7 small forward from Philadelphia, and 6-foot-10 center Chinonso Obokoh from Rochester, N.Y., in head coach Jim Boeheim’s 2014 recruiting class.

“Carmelo Anthony is his favorite player. Has been since he was in the 8th grade,’’ Chris Hawkins, Patterson’s AAU coach, told the Post-Standard. “If he ever had a chance to go to Syracuse, he would, but he didn’t have the chance until now.’’

Patterson averaged 18.5 points, six rebounds, four assists and 2.5 steals as a senior at Broad Ripple High School in Indianapolis, In. He turned down DePaul, Illinois, Minnesota and Ohio State when he initially chose Indiana and Providence, Boston College, Xavier, Connecticut, Miami and SMU have been recruiting Patterson since he arrived at Brewster.

“He really liked Xavier and Providence and a couple other schools,’’ Hawkins said. “But he really wanted to go see Syracuse.’’

The 6-foot-3 Jordan, Scout.com’s 10th-ranked point guard in the Class of 2014, has taken official visits to both Syracuse and St. John’s, and is being heavily recruited by Temple and Rutgers. Whitehead, a dynamic 6-foot-4 junior guard, has a laundry list of suitors that includes Kentucky, St. John’s, UCLA, Louisville and West Virginia, among others.
